Well, actually, since I have been a Manager. I will say that I need *1* of those guys and the rest I prefer to be bright innovative folks who have history in complex software. They could learn what they need to know in 30-60 days, including the Java experince, while being useful in the design phase.
Personally, I think anyone who thinks they shouldn't hire people without the EXACT experience are foolish and are missing excellent people just so the hiring authority can just make an easy throw of a resume/background. Being a 'C' programmer isn't genetically inherited, I can do 'Java' or 'PL/SQL' or whatever. And that is one of the other reasons U.S. companies outsource, the lower cost overseas is also because a lot of the programmers over there have no expertise until they start working on YOUR product. But, you never know that, you just see the finished product, which in many cases, is quite good. Ah, well... 'nuf said.
